Abstract

Lower abdominal wall-perineum, iliac-pelvic, gluteal, and groin can be seen as the parts connecting the body trunk and lower limbs. Sarcomas in these parts have three distinct features: (1) Superficial type, commonly seen in the lower abdomen and perineum; (2) Commonly seen in original external parts including iliac, pelvic, gluteal, and groin or the lateral integument; (3) Originally affected in the certain part of the channel and then spread. Compared to the shoulder girdle channel, the internal sided pelvic and abdominal cavity is normally dotted with sarcomas. The sarcomas within the part are hidden and large, overlapping with the main body structures, with difficulty in treatment and earlier diagnosis. The margin incision is often incomplete, which gives rise to the high risk of recurrence. Understanding the regularity of partial cut is of great help to locate the margin, complete the resection, or actively cure or mitigate risks. Confronted with the complicated operation, we should start from the local anatomy [1, 2].
